1 [To the chief Musician. Upon the Gittith. Of the sons of Korah. A Psalm.] How amiable are thy tabernacles, O Jehovah of hosts!2 My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of Jehovah; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living *God.3 Yea, the sparrow hath found a house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she layeth her young, thine altars, O Jehovah of hosts, my King and my God.4 Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be constantly praising thee. Selah.5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee, -they, in whose heart are the highways.6 Passing through the valley of Baca, they make it a well-spring; yea, the early rain covereth it with blessings.7 They go from strength to strength: {each one} will appear before God in Zion.8 Jehovah, God of hosts, hear my prayer; give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah.9 Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed.10 For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather stand at the threshold of the house of my God, than dwell in the tents of wickedness.11 For Jehovah Elohim is a sun and shield: Jehovah will give grace and glory; no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.12 Jehovah of hosts, blessed is the man that confideth in thee!

1 Vir die musiekleier; op die Gittiet. Van die kinders van Korag. 'n Psalm.2 Hoe lieflik is u woninge, o HERE van die leërskare!3 My siel verlang, ja, smag na die voorhowe van die HERE; my hart en my vlees jubel uit tot die lewende God.4 Selfs vind die mossie 'n huis en die swaweltjie 'n nes vir haar, waar sy haar kleintjies neerlê, naamlik u altare, HERE van die leërskare, my Koning en my God!5 Welgeluksalig is hulle wat woon in u huis; hulle prys U gedurig. Sela.6 Welgeluksalig is die mens wie se sterkte in U is, in wie se hart die gebaande weë is.7 As hulle deur die Droë Laagte trek, maak hulle dit 'n fonteinland; ook oordek die vroeë reën dit met seëninge.8 Hulle gaan van krag tot krag; elkeen van hulle sal verskyn voor God in Sion.9 HERE, God van die leërskare, hoor my gebed; luister tog, o God van Jakob! Sela.10 o God, ons skild, kyk en aanskou die aangesig van u gesalfde.11 Want 'n dag in u voorhowe is beter as duisend; ek wil liewer by die drumpel staan in die huis van my God as om te woon in die tente van goddeloosheid.12 Want die HERE God is 'n son en skild; die HERE sal genade en eer gee; Hy sal die goeie nie onthou aan die wat in opregtheid wandel nie. [ (Psalms 84:13) HERE van die leërskare, welgeluksalig is die mens wat op U vertrou! ]
